Take the photograph.
Self-timer mode : Press the shutter-
release button halfway to focus, and
then press the button the rest of the
way down to start the self-timer. The
self-timer lamp will start to blink and a
beep will begin to sound. Two
seconds before the photograph is taken, the self-timer lamp will stop blinking
and the beeping will become more rapid. The shutter will be released ten
seconds after the timer starts.
The timer will not start if the camera is unable to focus or in other situations in
which the shutter can not be released.
Delayed remote and quick-response remote
modes
: From a distance of 5 m (16 ft.) or
less, aim the transmitter on the ML-L3
at the infrared receiver on the camera
and press the shutter-release button
on the ML-L3. In delayed remote
mode, the self-timer lamp will light for about two seconds before the shutter is
released. In quick-response remote mode, the self-timer lamp will flash after
the shutter has been released. No picture will be taken if the camera is unable
to focus or in other situations in which the shutter can not be released.
If no operations are performed for about five minutes after selecting delayed
remote or quick-response remote modes, the camera will automatically return
to single frame or continuous mode, cancelling remote control mode.

Using a Remote Control
If autofocus is in effect in delayed remote or quick-response remote mode, the camera
can be focused by pressing the shutter-release button halfway (the shutter will not be
released if the shutter-release button is pressed all the way down).

Cover the Viewfinder
After framing the photograph, remove
the DK-20 rubber eyecup (q) and insert
the supplied DK-5 eyepiece cap as
shown (w). This prevents light entering
via the viewfinder interfering with
exposure. Hold the camera firmly when
removing the rubber eyecup. DK-5 eyepiece cap
